Pre-roll?  Preferably 3-5 seconds.  First Position? 5-10 seconds.  I
really don't enjoy watching 15 seconds of show and then 15 seconds of
commercial.

Depending on how long your show is, you can get away with another 15
second spot in the middle or near the end, but those are less coveted
by advertisers, for obvious reasons of people not watching the show
that long and never seeing the commercial.

I also think that the more integrated the ad is with the show, the
better.  Have your on-air talent do the voiceover or the actual spot.

2008-02-08 Thread Bill Cammack
Yes.  I should have mentioned that those were my personal preferences
as far as watching ads on shows.  I don't buy or sell ads and have
nothing to do with that industry.

Some sites actually throw 30 second ads up before the video plays, as
if you're about to watch an entire 30-minute television show.  Some
sites also don't have the ads burned into the video, meaning that you
have to let the ad play until the end with no fast-forward control
before it re-directs you to the URL of the video you wanted to see in
the first place.
